You may seea small amount of compression but not enough to really help.  It may 
behoove you to start saving your nickles and dimes and invest in a external 
harddrive for back up purposes.

Subject: [bookport] hard disk storage and the Book Port



Hi folks, 

I store a lot of mp3 files on my hard disk.  As a result, it's beginning to 
fill up quicker than I'd like! 

I realise these files are already compressed when compared to wav files. 

I'm wondering though, can I save disk space by zipping them in winzip?  Of 
course, I know they'd need to be unzipped prior to transfer to the Book Port, 
for on-the-move listening. 

At the moment, I'm not familiar with Winzip, as I haven't yet had a need  to 
use it. 

thanks for any advice. 

Eamonn
